Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Portable Hard Drive

Choosing a hard drive typically requires two decisions: storage-size and connectivity. Problem is, when it comes to connectivity options things are a mess. Your current options: USB, USB 2.0, USB 3.0, eSATA, FireWire 800 don’t necessarily make it easy to choose a hard drive to buy that fits your current needs and promise compatibility as you upgrade your computer.

USB 2.0, though widely available, isn’t the fastest options and we both know your music, photo, and torrent library isn’t getting smaller. The new Seagate FreeAgent Go Flex line of external hard drives let you choose a “personality cable” based on the ports you need. With hard drives starting at $100 (for 320GB) you stay budget minded to by selecting your exact port and avoid the premium other hard drives charge for offering a bevy of built-in ports. At about a half-inch thick, several colors, up-to 7200RPM hard drive speeds, and 320GB to 1TB sizes, there’s pretty much a GoFlex for any need. Fast, flexible, cheap, secure, and futureproof. That’s not too much to ask for, right?

Like it or not, it's 2015: a dog at the foot of the bed and a revolver in your drawer is neither the safest nor the most sensible home security setup you can have. These seven home surveillance cameras lead the charge towards an altogether more secure and responsible home.

In 2011, Jimmy Chin climbed one of the hardest peaks in the world, Shark's Fin on Mount Meru. What's more impressive is that he filmed the adventure, then turned it into a documentary that just won big at Sundance.
